"Trade secrets of medieval book illuminators, the private press movement and Barker's welcome apostasy ("Who the hell reads Kelmscott Press books?"), the degradation of paper quality, the improvement in ink, bookshop merchandizing, the importance of visual detail and symbolism and how the ability to read images has decayed, the importance of the shape of letters as a map of the human mind, Congolese bards, calligraphy, copperplate engraving and the personality of the engraver, Victorian typography, Goudy, Gill, Dwiggins, Morison, the importance of curve, and the current state of "Jine" printing. "

To model printing noise a binary noisy channel and a set of controlled gates are introduced. The channel input is an image created by a halftoning algorithm and its output is the printed picture. Using this channel robustness to noise between halftoning algorithms can be studied. We introduced relative entropy to describe immunity of the algorithm to noise and tested several halftoning algorithms.

"This weekend I decided I wanted to learn about the new stuff in Java 1.5. Generics, auto-boxing/unboxing, etc. This is the kind of reading that works best for me in a printed book.

Fortunately for me (and for Cheap Impostor), Sun's official Java Language Specification is available as a free PDF file, with license given to each user to print one copy."

"Imposition arranges one or more existing pages onto another page. In its simplest form, it's n-up, such as shrinking 4 pages onto 1 to save paper when printing. It's easy to arrange pages and rotations for booklets. More sophisticated use of the tool can rearrange and rotate pages to produce complex layouts, as for folded brochures."

"You probably got here from the page that talks about how to make and sell your own game. If you haven't read that yet, you might want to go back and take a look at it. This is just a page listing resources and other information links.

If you are visiting this site from another site, please visit our home page, which offers a small selection of our own unusual games; Jolly Games. We'd love to sell you stuff."

"By contrast a Google search of coaster gets 67 million hits; billboard only gets 42 million hits.

And no wonder: coasters and or advertising mats are friendly (75 % of consumers rate them a non-intrusive advertising medium); they are popular (45 % of all visitors to licensed premises take them home with them) and they are convenient to use. After all, billboards are a bit bulky to slip under a glass in a beer garden or save insects from drowning..."

"From the discovery of the 1898 International Dictionary to linotyping the entries to printing the last print on the vandercook to cutting the fingertabs of the deluxe edition, this video gives a quick overview of the process of creating the Pictorial Webster's fine press edition."

"Even things that you might expect to come standard -- like an International Standard Book Number (ISBN), without which a book won't be offered for sale by many professional booksellers -- are often only available at extra cost, so authors should always read the fine print to know what they're getting into. While you're shopping around, here's a quick look at five good possibilities for POD publishing:"

"...How are such things as editions, states, variants, or even the book itself to be discussed? To what extent is a printed book singular? And to what extent does the (inaccurate) scholarly assumption that it is not, enable reasonable and useful discussion of such objects to proceed?"
